Dear Valued Member of the United Steelworkers Local 8599 Family,

I would like to address a mailer that you may have received from a political organization, the Freedom Foundation, under a threatening title “Legal Notice.” The Freedom Foundation is a crooked company funded by big businesses that wants you to stop supporting the USW in order to further their own political goals. This is a direct attack on all of us. You are your Union, and your Union needs your support!

Because of your show of Solidarity during the past few months along with the Fontana Teachers Association and the Fontana School Police Association, your Bargaining Team comprised of Dawn Dooley, Richard Romo, Rose Tibbels, Matt Griffiths, Robert Provost, Marly Sandoval (USW International Representative), and Virginia Rodriguez reached Tentative Agreements on Salary Proposal and the following Articles.

Each Article will be attached to this email and put on the www.usw8599.com website for your viewing.

The time is now for ACTION! Our negotiations team has proposed a salary increase for 2024-2025 school year. We have hit a standstill in negotiations.
